Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
Written by Ann-Marie MacDonald
Produced by Fatal FemTheatre

Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist-revisioning of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet.
Constance Ledbelly is the beleaguered “spinster” academic, and unlikely heroine who embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity. When she deciphers an ancient and neglected manuscript, Constance is propelled through a very modern rabbit hole and lands smack in the middle of the tragic turning points of each play in turn.
A wild unpredictable ride through comedy and near-tragedy, as mild-mannered Constance learns to love, sword-fight, dance Renaissance-style, and master a series of disguises… Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) a gender-bendy, big-hearted and crazily intelligent romp, where irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.
